Which, of course, is why Snape and DD and all these other vamps can 
go traipsing about in "broad daylight" all the time!

Heh...and here I didn't think anyone would take the idea of Dumbly as a vamp seriously when I mentioned it a month ago...*eg*.

Really, though, as I've said before, unless Rowling is taking extreme liberties with the original myths (something she has not done yet--she's fiddled, yes, but stayed within old folk loric boundaries for the most part in regards to mythic races and creatures--ignoring most 'modern' intrepetations in the process as well), I don't  think DD is a vamp, for the same reasons I sited for Snape a while back....he's not (un)dead, he walks in sunlight, he eats and drinks, we haven't found scores of students wandering around with puncture wounds located next to important arterial points, etc etc etc...

**Facial tics starts up**

Just as I *know* Snape is not one.

**spasms in an effort not to fall to base instinct and start screaming out why again...^^; Don't get me started, Pippin--my week has been stressful enough...lol. *hugs*..**

Whoever it is, we haven't met them yet, or they're too well disguised for us to see it yet 

And sorry guys but I have to say that sallow skin, swooping cloak and black attire is not up to Rowling's standard as far as clues poiting in the correct direction goes. Rowling is skillfully subtle in these things, I'm finding. And, the more 'obvious' it is to us...chances are the further away it is from the 'truth'. Severus is just way to obvious. Dumbly isn't as obvious a candidate, but it just doesn't ring true...I'd beleive he was actaully old Moldy Voldy in disguise before I'd believe he was a vamp...

Okay, I'm gonna stop now before I get sucked into this one again.

No, Pippin...don't start...please *begs*...lol...;)
